5 Day Luxor to Aswan Nile Cruise from Cairo by Flight

Our agent will meet you in the hotel lobby and transport you to the Cairo airport where you will catch your flight to Luxor.

Transfer to your Nile cruise after landing in Luxor. Boarding prior to 12:00.

The largest structure ever built in human history, the Karnak Temple Complex, can be found on the East Bank of Luxor, which you will explore in the afternoon. The main structure is that of God Amun Ra, which dates back to the middle kingdom but may perhaps be as old as the third dynasty according to some accounts. It was thought of as the dwelling of God on Earth.

The Temple of Luxor, which was started by one of the 12th dynasty monarchs and finished by the famous pharaoh Ramses II, will be the next place you go. Similar to Karnak, this temple was situated in the center of ancient Thebes and was devoted to the chief/principal god Amun Re. You will be transferred back to your ship for some rest and leisure when your day trip is over. The personnel will run an Egyptian folkloric entertainment at night. After dinner, stay the night in Luxor.
